On 25-26 March 2015, the 10th anniversary edition of our annual public conferences will take place in Brussels. The theme of this year’s event is “Textile Research and Innovation in Europe – from 2005 to 2025”.

Covering a broad spectrum from new textile materials, to advanced manufacturing technologies as well as digitalisation and new business models, 30 high-level speakers from industry, research and EU policy will

showcase industry-ready results of ground-breaking textile research undertaken in the last 10 years

give an outlook on major industry innovation and technology trends expected to reshape the textile and clothing industry over the next 10 years

present strategies and policies which will help the EU textile and fashion sector to assert its leadership position in the global market

Apart from these presentations, the conference will again serve as an excellent place to meet textile researchers and innovators from all across Europe, to speak face-to-face with policy makers and funding programme managers and to look at results and activities of our supporting projects and organisations.
